UNITED fans are celebrating the striker's return while Rangers fans are unhappy with their manager and chief executive.

THE return of striker David Goodwillie to Dundee United on a six-month loan deal from Blackburn Rovers has gone down well with the Tannadice faithful.

Nick Black, Dryburgh, said: “A move like this shows we are going places. I think Goodie regrets going down south in the first place. We should now move to make this a permanent move.”

And Carl Murray, Dalgety Bay, said: “This shows we mean business this coming season. We should be doing our upmost to sign him permanently because on his day Goodwillie is one of the best in Scotland.”

Isabella Livingstone, Mount Florida, said: “I don’t support Dundee United but I have to say that it is good for the country to see one of our best players come back to ply his trade here.

“Maybe his return will also help improve our national side because we certainly need something.”

Bob Wallace, Broughty Ferry, said: “What a signing, we should be doing everything we can to bring him back on a permanent basis. I’m just surprised neither Celtic nor Rangers moved for him.”

There are also suggestions that Christophe Berra could go to Ibrox but Alan Differ, Campsie, said: “I take issue with Ally McCoist making a move like that.

“He should be lowering the wage bill as we don’t have any money.”

Dunky Robertson, London, said: “McCoist is buying all these players but I thought Rangers were skint?”

Hearts definitely are, but if the authorities listen to Rangers chief Craig Mather they won’t punish the men from the capital too badly.

But Walter Sneddon emailed: “Mather should stay out of anything regarding Hearts. Let them do their own fighting.

“Nobody talked up for Rangers when we were down so we should just let them all get on with it. What goes around comes around.”

LCG, Burntisland, said: “Hearts are getting away with murder, they should be punished like we were.”

M Macleod, Stornoway, said: “I see Mather doesn’t want the SFA to hammer Hearts. As a Rangers supporter I feel they would not be doing their duty if they didn’t give them the same treatment they gave us. They bent over backwards to put Rangers out of existence when we went into administration.”

Barra Stevens, Edinburgh, said: “The SFA wanted to get rid of Rangers so Mather is talking rubbish, the Ibrox fans want them punished just like us.

“They gave us a kicking and if the SFA are lenient to them I would want us to take action against the governing body for changing their rules.”

Now back to Ibrox where McCoist got praise for bringing back Gordon Durie.

Jimmy Burnside, Belfast, said: “Well done Ally for bringing Jukebox back. We should have Rangers men at Ibrox and get the team playing for the jerseys again.”

Celtic supporters also had plenty to shout about as Stefan Lomako, Whithorn, said: “McCoist is gathering together what is potentially a very good team capable of winning everything they enter.

“I’m sure Neil Lennon is monitoring the situation and nothing will be taken for granted.”

Frank Docherty, Barrhead, said: “I see McCoist said he will have to sell some of his players so he can bring more in. That should net him a massive £3.50p at least.”

Pat Thompson, Parkhead, said: “Are Rangers a new company or an old one?

“When it comes to not paying the ordinary folk they are an old company but they still go on about their history. They are either one or the other.”

And we finish at Wimbledon but not with Andy Murray this time.

Alan Lough, Dunbar, said: “I hope Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium wins the women’s singles now after her great fightback win over Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic.”

Never heard of her. But I’ve no doubt we’ll hear a lot about the new arrival at Tannadice.
